Federica Pellegrini he made his last 100 Olympic meters with a smile. Serenity is the figure of the last Olympics of the Divina of Italian swimming that greeted the games with the sixth place in the mixed women’s 4 × 100 blue relay. She is happy to have decided to quit now, at almost 33 years old (she will turn them on August 5, ed).

«Feelings after this last race? Maybe I’m still in the game and so I’ll have to metabolize everything with the bowls stopped, but I’m very happy with the decision I made », she said out of the pool. “It’s the right time, I’ve always felt it and I am very happy about what awaits me next, in fact I can’t wait for it to start. Then surely melancholy will also come, maybe at the end of the year when I will really stop completely, but I’m serene ».

His future will still be in sport, perhaps addressing a topic that has become even more topical after the cases of Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka at these games: the mental health of athletes. «I would like to stay in sport, we’ll see how. I like Vezzali? It seems a bit too much, I still have the costume on. I don’t see myself much in politics, I’m not too diplomatic, I would be surprised if I managed to become one. I think a professional figure could be needed to help girls in times of stress, you have seen that at the Olympics some have suffered for age or character. I am thinking of a psychologist, not of me, of someone professional, since sport today involves taking care of every single detail, we have not cultivated this ».

Federica Pellegrini has come from a week “full of emotions” starting from the fifth Olympic final in her 200 freestyle through the first official announcement in history with Matteo Giunta, coach and “life partner”. The last message is for the fans. «Thank you very much for all these years, they have been truly incredible, a swing of beautiful and painful emotions».
